【Abstract】: Objective To investigate the levels of serum homocystein (
Hcy) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and their differences in
each subtype of artery atherosclerosis ischemic stroke. Methods: All
ACI patients were classified into large-artery atherosclerosis (n =
130) and small-vessel occlusion (n = 87) based on TOAST. The groups
of large-artery atherosclerosis included progressive stroke (PS)
(n=58) and complete stroke (n=72). Another group was also divided into PS
(n=12) and complete stroke(n=75). Levels ofserum Hcy and hs-CRP concent
were measured and compared between groups. Results: (1) The
levels of HCY and hs-CRP in large-artery atherosclerosis group were higher than in small-vessel occlusion group; (2)
The levels of HCY and hs-CRP were higher in PS than in complete stroke in two
groups; (3) There was nosignificant difference
of the levels of HCY between PS and complete stroke in large-artery
atherosclerosis,while the levels of
hs-CRP were higher in PS. Conclusions: Levels of serum Hcy
and hs-CRP were related to the occurrence of large-artery closely,which may be
regarded as an index to predict and evaluate the large-artery atherosclerosis.
Hyperhomocysteinemia didn’t indicate the PS.
